In the very first mission of the game. Once you have killed the lookouts and taken out the artillery you will have to head uphill. If you look at the map (back button) you can see a course through the mountains. Get out you welrod suppressed pistol. Crouch with b and head through the pass.

There will be 4 artillery crews you will come across and will have to kill. You have to do this without being detected, you have been detected if the enemy has a full red circle. A yellow circle or yellow partially red circle is fine. If you do get detected then press start and load last save you can still get the achievement, checkpoints are plentiful.

Make sure to use your binoculars to tag enemies and use your welrod and silent melee takedowns where possible. Loot bodies for ammo. If you do run out use your sniper rifle and relocate to avoid detection then keep returning and picking them off one by one. Use high ground whenever possible to tag enemies. (There is at least 1 tower)

This achievement is made easy by the load last save option. It saves after every artillery crew you kill so don't get detected by the last member of the artillery crew because then you get a checkpoint which forces you to restart. Good luck. Also you can save manually at any point during your game using the start menu, you can then reload this save if your auto save includes a detection.

Here is a very skilful guide to getting to the achievement and shows how it should be done, full credit to Random Chievo's for such an excellent video. As he states you can do this on cadet difficulty and make it easy on yourself should you wish.
